Powerball numbers: Saturday, there is no big winner, the biggest prize reaches $ 550 million

NEW YORK – Powerball’s biggest prize has grown to more than half a billion dollars after Saturday’s draw failed to win.

Saturday’s winning numbers were: 14-26-38-45-46- Powerball: 13

The Mega Millions prize is even bigger and causes lottery fever across the country.

Here’s what you need to know about the two awards:

Powerball

The Powerball prize had grown to $ 550 million (cash value: $ 411.4 million) on Sunday morning, the largest potential prize since March 2019.

Powerball officials say it could be the 9th biggest prize in the game’s history.

The next draw will be held on Wednesday, January 13th.

While no one won the grand prize, two entries matched the five white balls to win a million dollars. These tickets were sold in Pennsylvania and Florida.

The biggest Powerball prize was last held in New York in the September 16, 2020 draw.

“It’s been a couple of years since the games simultaneously offer big prizes, and our players are here to get it,” said May Scheve Reardon, president of the Powerball Product Group and executive director of the Missouri Lottery.

The game of Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Mega millions

The Mega Millions award reached $ 600 million for the fourth time in history.

Many lottery players look forward to their chance at fortune, as no ticket matches the six numbers drawn on Friday night.

Friday’s winning numbers were: 18, 3, 58, 16, 6 and an 11 Megaball.

While no one won the Mega Millions award earlier this week, five entries match the five white balls, making players from California, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York millionaires.

Four of the winners won $ 1 million and the New York winner bought the optional Megaplier, winning his prize of up to $ 2 million.

Our sister station WABC-TV reported that the $ 2 million winning ticket was bought at Citgo Mart in Middletown, Orange County, and that a $ 1 million winning ticket was sold at Masso’s Deli & Gibbsboro Pizzeria, New Jersey.

Mega Millions tickets are sold in 44 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
